Like a steam engine, a
freight train
roaring on ethereal tracks in
the heavens
the presence of God, the
Spirit
over the house where they
were gathered
a roar of a great wind
A cloud of flames,
descending on each one
falling, onto, into, each
one of their hearts
Words of love, words of
power
by the Spirit commissioned
in tongues they did not know
Speaking to those
who came into their midst
the believers in one place
Words shared,
of the story of the Christ
A message of love,
shared in languages unknown
spreading the flames
like a brush fire
to the whole world
